Date format in workflow email

Hi All,
I'm having issues with the date format within an automated WorkFlow email. For Leads, users in the UK are entering the 'call back date' field as '26/06/2009' and in the email it seems to base this on the server locale appearing as '06/26/2009'. Can we format this within the code?
Thanks
Oli @ Innoveer

I have just experienced this and used the following to convert the date to Australian format for my workflow email
%%%Mid([<IndexedDate0>],4,2) + '/' + Left([<IndexedDate0>],2) + Mid([<IndexedDate0>],6,Len([<IndexedDate0>]))%%%
this gives format DD/MM/YYYY
hope this helps,

How do i change the date format on an email?

When my emails load the date shows as mm/dd/yyyy as this is not a format i use how do i change it to dd/mm/yyyy ?
I had to reinstall Thunderbird and the date problem has just started from the reinstall.
Thank you for your help.

TB uses the short date format as set in your OS control panel, e.g. in Windows, Region and Language. There is also an add-on:

Date format in Email notifications

Service Desk 7.01
Windows 2008
MS SQL DB
When the notification emails are sent out to the user, the date format is in US format (mm/dd/yyyy) and we would like it to be Aus format (dd/mm/yyyy).
I have set the Default Date Style under Setup > Customer and in Setup > Email > Templates Date Style at the bottom of the window, but it is still showing as the US format.
Is there another place that it needs to be changed?

It is working in my setup. I modified the date format in setup>Email >Templates and selected Email Summary Templates and modified the format in Date Style. Attach more screen shots.

Formatting the mail content in the workflow email

Hi,
In a workflow i am displaying a currency value.I want to format the currency value in the output. For eg: currently in the workflow email a value is displayed as 20000.0000 but i want it to display as 20,000.00 .
I have written the code in the method of the business object where i fetch this value such that the value is changed to the required format and is placed in the container element. The value of this container element is then displyed in the mail body.
I checked and the value does change to the required format and it is placed in the container element also in the required format(i.e 20,000.00) But only in the email output the formatting is lost and it is displayed in the original format(i.e 20000.0000).
Is there any other way to format the output of the currency field. I tried changing the data type to a character string but then the comma does not appear on the output.
Thanks!
Regards
Archana

Hi,
amount = 20000.0000
mail_amount is the variable that you'll use in mail body
p_curr is the currency you'll use.
WRITE amount TO mail_amount CURRENCY p_curr RIGHT-JUSTIFIED.

Error with the data format in the TXT file, sending as an Email attachment

Hi all,
I have an problem in the data formating in the TXT file while sending as an attachment via an email by using the FM "SO_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1".
For eg:
The data in the TXT file is looking like as follows:
0 0 0 0 2        L O U D S P E A K R   O T H E R   3 8 W h i t e                  0 0

and so on
But it should come as :

Email Submit and Data format

I have been reviewing the following document and have 1 question.
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_understanding_submit_tip.pdf
Is there a way to customize the data format using a submit button?
I may have the requirement to have end users submit data through an email submit button, but the client wants the data in the format Fieldname [delimiter of some sort] Fieldvalue, is this possible? Would you need to manually edit the xml in the form to do this? Any pointers would be appreciated.
The only options I see in the attributes of the email submit button are:
XDP
XML
PDF
URL encoded data
Thank you,

Hi Paul:
Currently we are using Acroforms and would use these forms originally.
In the future, this would be used with LiveCycle so it would probably be an XFA/LiveCycle Designer form. I believe in this case, the best solution would be to do this through a submit using Form Server components of LCES.
Thank you,

Sending workflow email in HTML format

Hi Experts,
I'd like to know if it is possible to send an HTML email using the workflow email step and HOW. Sample is displaying the simple table in HTML format:
<table border="1">
<tr> <th>Header 1</th> <th>Header 2</th> </tr>
<tr>
<td>row 1, cell 1</td>
<td>row 1, cell 2</td>
</tr>
</table>
Since the hyperlink (<A HREF="http://www.google.com">Google</A>) is working, I want to know if a table will work too.
My last resort creating a separate program that uses SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1.
Regards,
Dexter

Hello,
Using SO_NEW_DOCUMENT_SEND_API1 is not a last resort; it's a necessity if you want to send anything but the simplest email from workflow.

Email date format

I have a query regarding the default date format in regard to email messages.
When sending email the message from my pc appears to the recipient the date format is for example:
From: me <************@btinternet.com>
To: Someoneelse <**********@btinternet.com>
Sent: Sunday, 16 February 2014, 10:28
Subject: Re: subject.
When sent from my ipad it is
From: me <************@btinternet.com>
To: Someoneelse <**********@btinternet.com>
Sent: Sunday, February 16 2014, 10:28
Subject: Re: subject
When sent from my ipad it is
I have an account with my company the date format for this account is always:
From: me ************@company.org
To: Someoneelse <**********@company.org.com>
Sent:16 February 2014, 10:28
Subject: Re: subject
What determines the date format? Is it the pc or ipad or are these formats set by the provider?
Robin

I think it is set by your device and I don't think you can change the date format in your ipad from US to UK.

I have discussed this with Lori DeFurio, past Acrobat (and PDF) Developer Evangelist, and most recently, responsible for Customer & Field Enablement, who has informed me that this is possible and directed me to these forums for a resolution.
Has anyone actually accomplished this? Any information is appreciated.

Hide 1/1/0001 from Short Date in Workflow email

All
Using InfoPath and SharePoint 2010.
I've various date fields on my InfoPath form which can be left blank. These date fields are published to SP successfully as blank (to the human eye).
When I place the date field (short date) in a workflow created email, the date returns in the email as 1/1/1/0001 . This I understand is workflow default behaviour.
Can this value (1/1/0001 be hidden or replaced with a "blank".
I've 6 date fields in this email, any one of them could be blank. Is there an alternative to write multiple email combinations?

I'm trying to set a variable in place of a blank date fields yet all I get back is an alternative date 1/1/1900.
Thanks

Hi Wilkies0105aw,
I'm also having the same issue. Did you find any solution to hide date 1/1/0001 in the workflow email?
Please let me know.

https://www.nothingbutsharepoint.com/sites/eusp/pages/creating-html-emails-with-spd-workflows.aspx
Hi all of the above work, our question is how to control the RTF (Rich Text Field) look up values to the InfoPath 2010 form in the HTML email?
How to FORMAT the RTF look up value? in the HTML email
EXAMPLE
we have a InfoPath 2010 form published in the SharePoint 2010 custom list library there are 5 RTF fields (Notes1, Notes2, Notes3, Notes4, Notes5) there are other plain text fields, date fields, and other field types in the form
We use a HTML table to make the email look like the InfoPath form, so when the users fill out the form and they get the email notification everything looks the same.
Our problem is the EXTRA LINE SPACE in the RTF look up values
We want to remove any leading spaces, and line spaces between HTML table cells
Our Workflow has the HTML in a Workflow variable, as you know it does not support remote CSS it has to be in-line style for any formatting we want all cells to have
valign="top" the email should align at the top of the cell, all field types do except the RTF look up values they make the email look bad and they contain a lot of white space.
Please test this in your enviroment
<table>
<tr><td>Title:</td><td>[%Current Item:Title%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes1%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Created by:</td><td>[%Current Item:CreatedBy%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes2%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Date Created:</td><td>[%Current Item:Created%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes3%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Modified by:</td><td>[%Current Item:ModifiedBy%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes4%]</td></tr>
<tr><td>Date Modified:</td><td>[%Current Item:Modified%]</td><td>[%Current Item:Notes5%]</td></tr>
</table>

Hi IssackB,
perhaps you may try this article:
http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/sharepoint/en-US/f8fa2a11-9f74-4dd2-b277-21ce872fdcb2/can-we-add-rich-text-editor-to-the-sharepoint-designer-2010-workflow?forum=sharepointcustomizationprevious
there are some notes that perhaps you may check:
Use the same font for all the controls to ensure consistent spacing between rows.
Choose Size from the Format menu, and then choose To Fit from the menu that appears. This adjusts the size of each control, depending on the font set for the data that appears
in the control.
NOTE: The Print Preview and Output To commands use different algorithms for calculating text width; therefore, the text may occupy more or less
space in the RTF file.
Reduce the amount of blank space above and below the report controls. Any vertical
space between the controls is converted to whole lines
in the RTF file. For example, a
space of .02 inches can increase to .1667 inches in the
RTF file.
Make sure controls on the same output row are not too close to each other or overlapping. This can cause the Output To command to omit the controls or to align the columns incorrectly
in the RTF file.
Use the Align command from the Format menu to ensure that a row of controls is aligned properly on the report. If a row of controls is not aligned properly, the Output To command may place the controls
in different rows, causing extra blank
spacein the RTF file.
and please have a check there are updates for exchange 2013 and will be available with the upcoming release of CU4 for Exchange 2013, that stated the format rtf was saved instead HTML. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2862739/en-us

Date format issue in Web Analysis...

Hi,
I am creating a report by connecting to a couple of relational tables. I'm using SQL Spreadsheet and SQL Subscription objects. I'm creating a Date filter using SQL Subscription object (list box) using the data source created by the SQL Spreadsheet. My database default date format is 'DD-MON-YYYY'. But in the list box it shows as 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SI". When this value is selected, I get a "Literal mismatch error" since it doesn't match with the value stored in the database.
Why the format in WA is showing in this format even though it is fetchting it from my database in which the format is 'DD-MON-YYYY'. Is this related to WA date format settings? I cannot find anywhere in WA studio where I can set date formats. Is this something to be set in the server or webanalysis.properties file?
PS: I tried to work around this by storing the date value as character in the database but then I am not able to sort them ascending or descending order.I also tried creating the web analysis relational database connection which creates a virtual cube. But even there when I build the report using Data Source Navigator, it is showing date in 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24:MI:SI'.

Hi,
Let me provide you the details of the report.
A concurrent program has been created with executable as XDODTEXE (XML publisher report).
In the data definition, we have embed one query which fetches transaction date and due date from some tables based on some conditions.
Now, we have to show these date columns in report output which will be in EXCEL format.
We want these date outputs to be printed in dd/mm/yyyy format. That is the reason we had given-
TO_CHAR(TO_DATE (SUBSTR(transaction_date,1,10), 'DD/MON/RRRR'),'DD/MM/RRRR') in the SQL query.
Problem in output is- In date columns, data after 12th is fine i.e. in format dd/mm/yyyy, it is printing properly.
But before 12th, it is printing in format mm/dd/yyyy as mentioned below-
01/10/2012--wrong format, it should be 10/01/2012
01/11/2012--wrong format, it should be 11/01/2012
01/12/2012--wrong format, it should be 12/01/2012
13/01/2012--correct format (dd/mm/yyyy)
14/01/2012--correct format (dd/mm/yyyy)
How can i send you the attachment, is there any way/any email id?

Date format on report

Hi Everyone!
I have a date format that is in the footer of my report. The format is set with the following: fmDay Month DD RRRR HH:MI AM and this is what I want, but when it prints out I get the following: Monday September 24 2001 11:0 AM . I would think I should get Monday September 24 2001 11:00 AM . I need the other part of the minute to show up. Now, it does show up if I have Monday September 24 2001 11:15 AM. I really need for the whole date format to show up. If I change the format to mm/dd/rrrr HH:MI AM then I don't get the day which I really need to show up in the footer.
Thanks in advance for your help.
~Vannette ([email protected])

Please change your current date format [to]
fmDay Month DD RRRR fmHH:MI AM
Neeraj Vannette -
To explicate, recall that FM is a toggle. Your first
FM set the format to suppress all blanks and leading
zeroes, so 11:01 became 11:1. The added FM sets back
to normal mode, so everything after the first FM is
zero/blank suppressed, after the second FM is not.
